Greek police claim to have intercepted a booby-trapped parcel addressed to French President Nicholas Sarkozy. The France-bound device was found in the hands of two far-left Greek militants after another parcel detonated at a courier company in Athens.

"The incident seems rather ridiculous and in Sarkozy's case it's quite evident that this parcel would never have reached its destination," said police spokesman Thanassis Kokalakis.

Police found several other explosive packages addressed to the embassies of Belgium, the Netherlands and Mexico in Athens

A female employee at the courier company was left with burns to her hand when the parcel intended for the Mexican embassy caught light.

The others were detonated by police.

The two Greek suspects, aged 22 and 24, were both carrying handguns when they were found and one was wearing a wig and baseball cap and a bulletproof vest, police said.

Another way that the left and the jihadis are alike.

I wonder if the jihadist in chief allahu obambi sent it?

[Uncle Miltie]

Those Islamonutjobs think he opens his own mail?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Was the return address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

May not be related to Islam.

Greece has a plague of Communists and Anarchists as well. They were behind the recent austerity riots. Many of them are bomb throwers, or in this case, bomb mailers.

Old saying: Beware of Greeks sending gifts!

I'm sure the baseball cap did not have the logo of a baseball team on it....but I digress...
